Burkina Dry-More

Burkina Dry-More is a three year (2020-2023) project, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that aims to build a resilient agro-processing sector in Burkina Faso. In this project, Advance Consulting, together with project partners Sense, Agrodev, Timini and Afrique Verte, proposes to leverage the successes in the mango processing industry in Burkina Faso, by introducing four new products that processors can dry and process during the mango-off season. The project will contribute to two outcomes: 1. A resilient processing sector for 4 new value chains: the consortium envisions an international competitive agro-processing sector in Burkina Faso, which supports a standard of living that meets middle-income criteria for communities in the agriculture sector. Being a market-led project, the change agents of Burkina Dry-More are Burkinabe SMEs. 2. An inclusive processing sector that supports improved revenue and climate resilience for smallholder farmers and sustainable employment to youth and women in 4 new value chains.
